[STREAM] Scrap speakers talk, hanging out
Upgrading my speakers with scrap materials
A journey in creating usable audio equipment utilizing scrap materials. Just a quick video- I'm experimenting with different workflows and approaches towards videos since my last few uploads have been bigger productions. In the end I wired two of the speakers parallel, no issues as of yet with that configuration. If you do this project yourself, one thing to keep in mind is that the car speaker units are more directional than typical home/studio speakers, so placement around the room is important. I really am surprised with how good they sound though. The amp is the Douk Audio ST-01 Pro. It's available rebadged and rehoused under some other names too. Good quality budget amp for the price- I recommend. My only issue with it is the auto power-saving where the tubes click off after receiving no audio signal for about 15 seconds. But for like 80 bucks I'll deal with that. - OUR COMMUNITY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/j9N9tHmJmK - *SCORE Self-produced Synthesized on Korg Volca FM 2 - *VIDEO Top down shots: Sony a6600, Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 All other footage: Sony FX30, 18-105mm f4, and I believe a single shot on the 10-18mm f4 100% recorded through OBS on capture card in-studio. This is the first project where I've exclusively used that workflow. Some bugs, but I'm liking it so far. This is also the first video I have ever made without a single shot from a Canon body (dating all the way back to my childhood shooting stupid videos on PowerShots). Still used a Canon lens though so I haven't fully betrayed myself. - "SPEAKERS" 23.11.05 - 23.11.14 Cleveland, OH *Made for the sake of making. Evan Monsma

You can shoot video on Floppy Disk?
- OUR COMMUNITY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/j9N9tHmJmK Featuring @pappasproductions924 Shooting on an old floppy disk camera, lowering the pressure, exploring creative outlets, and trying to not be perfectionist. This one was a 25 hour production, not including the interview and the floppy disk shooting. That's pretty good for me, the previous video was around 70-80 hours all in. I'm slowly getting better at implementing my own advice here. There are videos on this channel that took three months, three weeks, now three days. Getting better - more to come. All music in this one by me. Video on learning music production coming up.
